• ... that Benjamin Jackson was likely paid at least $300 to fight in the American Civil War as Lewis Saunders?

• Source: Pages 197 and 198 of this book detail how Benjamin Jackson enlisted in the Union Navy in May 1864 as a substitute for a US citizen named Lewis Saunders, who was drafted, but had the opportunity to pay for a substitute to take his place. The fee Jackson received was likely at least $300. Because Jackson served as a substitute, he was enlisted under the Saunders name.
